CNN political commentator and former Obama administration official Van Jones said Tuesday on his network’s election coverage that Democrats come across as “annoying and offensive and seem out of touch in ways.”

Jones said, “This is a turbulent and volatile period. When you see this much motion in such a short period of time. I think Democrats have to look in the mirror right now.”

He added, “I think that the Democrats are coming across in ways that we don’t recognize that are annoying and offensive and seem out of touch in ways that I don’t think show up in our feeds when we’re looking at our kind of echo chamber, and I think it’s a message here.”

Host Anderson Cooper said, “When you are talking about our, you are talking about Democrats. Because it seems annoying to a lot of people.”

Jones said, “I’m trying to make a point here, which is that there’s an opportunity, I think, for Democratic Party to take this seriously. It’s the rural folks and suburban folks that is the coalition they have to win. We have got to win a different way. But it goes through the same suburban voters, and we have to have a bigger outcome in the urban area.



Ya Think?!? :lmao:

We need to be even FURTHER left


  • Shell-shocked Democrats were reassessing what went wrong after losing the Virginia governor's race
  • Lawmakers pointed to the failure to pass Biden's domestic agenda and progressives issued stark messages
  • Ilhan Omar retweeted a comment by Twitter user Secular Talk that said: 'Can't wait for the left to be blamed for a not at all left democrat losing a D+10 state.' She added a face-smacking emoji
  • The far-left Battle Barn Collective called the Virginia result a 'shellacking' that should 'wake up' the Dems
  • Progressive said McAuliffe's campaign 'had no rebuttal to Republican race-baiting bull****'
  • Senator Tim Kaine (D-Ohio) said he hoped his colleagues would treat the dismal showing like the 'Ghost of Christmas Future'
  • Moderate Democrats have called for an end to the infighting that has blocked spending bill talks
  • Joe Manchin called the Virginia results 'unbelievable' and said it shows Dems need to focus more on issues
  • Youngkin beat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia, while New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was clinging to narrow lead


The Democrat's left flank blamed the loss on the establishment Gov. Terry McAuliffe – in a race where Youngkin hammered the Democrats on Critical Race Theory, parental control of the school curriculum and made huge gains on Donald Trump with white women and the suburbs while holding his base.

'Squad' member Omar (D-Minn) let it be known she believes the party's establishment wing is to blame in Virginia, on a night when voters in her Minneapolis constituency rejected a proposal to replace the cops with a public safety department.

She retweeted a comment by Twitter user Secular Talk that said 'Can't wait for the left to be blamed for a not at all left democrat losing a D+10 state.' She added a face-smacking emoji.

A statement by the Battle Barn Collective - far-left coalition of groups including the Battle Born Collective, Justice Democrats and the Sunrise movement - called the Virginia results a 'shellacking' that should be a 'wake up call' for the party and called McAuliffe's campaign 'milquetoast'.

'Terry McAuliffe ran the milquetoast campaign he wanted to run — where every other word he uttered was 'Donald Trump' instead of focusing on the issues voters cared about the most,' they said in a statement. What happened in Virginia is what happens when Democrats fail to take on the GOP's divide-and-conquer racism and motivate people to turn out.
